Queer Stories, Queer Legacies: Social Mixer & Storytelling Workshop

Join Queer Global for a powerful evening of storytelling, reflection, and connection as we celebrate the voices and experiences of queer people of colour.

As part of our heritage project, this special event features interactive icebreakers at the intersection of queerness, history, and identity. Together, we’ll delve into the ways our pasts—both personal and collective—shape who we are today.

5:30pm – Doors open – settle in and grab a refreshment
5:45pm – Welcome & Introduction – learn more about the Queer Global Heritage Project
6:00pm – Fun & Interactive mixer
6:30pm – Creative Workshop – reflect on your journey by writing a letter to your younger self or another young queer person
7:00pm – Event concludes – with time to connect informally afterward
